#withstanding

I crossed over the cusp;

I made it across the threshold.

Suddenly, I get it.

This particular song is about shining a light on the farce that is our current political system and how potential change always gets hyped up but never gets seen through and how the masses are becoming fed up with it.

Withstanding Illusions

“I’ve laid low for far too long Waiting and fading as life moves along Then it dawns on me things are as they ever were The world’s still a farce, change hasn’t occurred War, greed, hate, and lies Deceit and corruption lead to innocent demise So I dig deep inside, searching for solutions Tapping into pandemonium for worldwide revolution

Years have come and gone Yet this promised advancement has yet to follow Same elaborate fabrications we’re forced to digest Same old bullshit still hard to swallow This dormant fire within has erupted once more So I raise my middle fingers to this everlasting status quo Shedding light on these withstanding illusions Throwing a wrench into the ebb and flow

Too much time has expired with nothing figured out The same talking heads spewing shit from their mouths Disguised as these leaders with an omniscient view But I comprehend that no one has a clue Parties gathering followers like some psychotic cult If they have all the answers, where are the fucking results? Total irrelevance as to which side gets their way It’s the same redundant inadequacy, day after day

Years have come and gone Yet this promised advancement has yet to follow Same elaborate fabrications we’re forced to digest Same old bullshit still hard to swallow This dormant fire within has erupted once more So I raise my middle fingers to this everlasting status quo Shedding light on these withstanding illusions Throwing a wrench into the ebb and flow

Let’s face it, we’ve strayed far from the course While the jackals bleed us dry without any remorse The sheep remain blind, no connecting the dots Doesn’t matter one damn bit who’s calling the shots The world seemingly too complicated for anyone to grasp While the foundation slowly rusts, on the verge of collapse We’re a parody for a higher power, they’re laughing it up All this human race has ever known is to fuck everything up

Years have come and gone Yet this promised advancement has yet to follow Same elaborate fabrications we’re forced to digest Same old bullshit still hard to swallow This dormant fire within has erupted once more So I raise my middle fingers to this everlasting status quo Shedding light on these withstanding illusions Throwing a wrench into the ebb and flow
